There doesn't seem to be a patch for 2.4, but there is one for 2.5.
The cvs patch should contain the ppscsi drivers too though I do not know if
that is for 2.4 or 2.5.

Maybe the best thing is to ask Tim Waugh directly? Maybe the 2.5 patch works
ok for 2.4 too. He should also be able to tell if it is being maintained or
not. Last thing I know was that he was looking for a maintainer because he
didn't have time for it.
